oh and this guy is stuck on global warming, alternative energy, & green jobs. Silly when you consider we have more than enough gas in America to cover us for years.

And 100% of your every post is nasty and petty, Kramer.

With of course, all your reactions to Bush's SOTU's were glowing with positive compliments        ::)

<<"I" 96 Times

<<"Me" 18 Times>>

Does anyone ever count these pronouns in the speeches of conservative politicians?  Or is it just that in the speeches of conservative politicians, there is so much of substance that one can object to?

I recall a story that demonstrated the comparison of Bush to Clinton, as it regarded precisely such.  Bush's speeches had far more use of the terms "we" & "us", and far FAR fewer references to "I" or "me"

What would be interesting is comparing Clinton to Obama.  See who is the king of the narcissitic personality

What I heard last night was the State of Obama not the State of the Union.
